加德满都的出租车
我和朋友计划在泰米尔区北部停留两天，之后会有更多人加入我们的徒步旅行。
计划第一天参观杜巴广场和博达哈大佛塔（我们前一天晚上很晚才到，会有时差反应，所以会比较轻松）。
D2 斯瓦扬布纳特寺和泰米尔区周边。
我不确定我们是否想去帕舒帕蒂纳特神庙。
然后我们开始徒步前往D3路线。
我咨询观光行程时，一位旅行社代理建议我们一天之内游览博达哈佛塔、斯瓦扬布纳特寺、帕斯帕提纳神庙和杜巴广场，报价每人82美元，两人共计165美元。我们觉得太贵了。大家有什么建议吗？我们打算两天内打车游览，这样会更轻松一些。从泰米尔区到这些地方的出租车通常价格是多少？我好像不能用Pathoa app查询价格，因为我需要尼泊尔的电话号码才能查询。
感谢！
奥斯卡·普什纳帕提纳神庙是我在加德满都最喜欢的地方，千万别错过。我都是步行往返……出租车费最多700尼泊尔卢比，也就是5美元多一点，这是最远的路程。如果你不会砍价，没人会收你1000尼泊尔卢比，也就是7美元。除此之外，你还得支付门票，不过门票本来就包含在内。即使只是步行去杜巴广场，也值得自己安排行程……尼泊尔非常安全……步行很轻松，人们也很友善。下载Mapy.cz，可以免费获取GPS地图。
祝你旅途愉快……你一定会玩得开心的。不过，我对你的旅行社有点担心，因为用尼泊尔的话来说，那完全就是个骗子公司。
谢谢！我也是这么想的……所以我们就打车出行吧！边走边拦车吗？
编辑于：1年前出租车比乘客多得多，所以要么打车，要么回程包车，即使他等很久，费用也会更低。上车前一定要谈好价格。加德满都的出租车不错，值得信赖，而且很幽默。
乘坐出租车点对点出行可能更轻松自在，而且相比包车一天，还有其他优势。例如，可以避免司机为了赶时间而催促，或者因为去吃达尔巴特（dal bhat）而耽误行程。总之，单独乘坐出租车意味着你可以自由支配一天的时间；你可以在一个地方多待一会儿，也可以跳过某个地方，或者去其他地方。而且，这种方式可能更便宜，你得到的报价似乎有点贵（除非包含门票，但即便如此……）。我不清楚最新的出租车价格，因为今年夏天我没有走你走的路线，但举个例子，从帕舒帕蒂纳特神庙到泰米尔区的出租车，讨价还价后的价格是400卢比。
Taxis are easy enough to find on the street; they wait for trade in many Thamel streets, will ask if you want a ride as they drive past and there are many outside places like Boudhanath. As barcaranger said, negotiate and agree on the price first. They are not expensive for most travellers even at the first-offer price but negotiation will reduce this, although not to the price a local would pay or, probably, the pathao rate. If you do prefer the same taxi and driver for the day, arranging this directly with a driver (perhaps the day before) is possible and cheaper than using an agent.
Pathao is cheaper than hailing from the street because the ‘foreigner premium’ isn’t added. Pathao was easy to use in tourist areas e.g. Thamel because the drivers speak English because they may phone to check the pick up location, but I had difficulty in a non-touristy place (Banepa) so my guide took over, after recovering from laughing at my attempts to speak Nepali. When there, pathao could be used to check the cost of a route and inform negotiations. That said, I would not worry about the cost too much, but if the budget is limited then buses are an option. Walking is possible to: I don't see the need for a taxi between Thamel, even north T, and DS (c30 minutes walk) and T to Swayambunath (an hour, say). Google maps and maps.me work well enough (mostly).
With two days at a leisurely pace, there would probably be time to see more than Thamel, KTM DS, Boudhanath and Pashupatinath.
Pashupatinath is an interesting place to see, not just for the cremations (can be a fascinatingly different cultural practice to observe at a respectful distance and not necessarily ghoulish) but the disappointment can be not seeing inside the main temple because it’s closed to non-Hindus. Aarati, the evening, is quite a spectacle. P is a relatively short walk from Boudhanath - 30 minutes or so to the Guhyeshwari temple entrance. If P is not for you there is another Shiva temple complex at Gokarneswor (it has cremation ghats but they are not often used), which is a quick taxi ride or about an hour or so walk from Boudhanath. Kopan monastery is also walkable from B.
Combining DS with Swayambunath is probably a little more efficient for travel time and distance than DS and Boudhanath (and B is worth more time in my opinion).
On a complete tangent. Someone might have been John C suggested walking everywhere and I did that a few weeks ago so Thamel …Boudha one day Thamel Pushnapatinath , Thamel …..Pathan etc and with the exception of Pushnapatinath they were all easy walks and I saw so many things and talked to so many people I’d never have done by taxi. Obviously look out for the great big holes you get but if you are fit it’s well worth considering. Whoever suggested it and I’m pretty sure it was John thanks for the suggestion. If you have some time it’s a great suggestion despite the air quality
You can either hire a taxi for full day, or can get the taxi just whenever you needed it. The transaction between any of two heritage site would costs you maximum of $5 - $7, so the entire day taxi costs ends up around 25 - 30 USD, and entrance fees are to be paid. If you have two days then just hire the taxi when you want and take enough time where you enjoy the most. And yes, don't miss out the Pashupatinath its amazing place to be there and learn about life and deaths. Have a safe travel !
Thanks all!
